Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Location is close to the public transport. If you have a heavy luggage is not really handy cause you have to reach the reception thru stairs .. FRIENDLY STAFF !!
stayed in a basement room unluckily got a room smells like sewer😳😞… ( came late at night and can’t get any other room)
Gladly stayed only for a night.. I did let the staff know that the room smells like sewer.. I hope they did something about it..
Near a subway stop. The room was a little small - but that was to be expected in London. Room was clean, updated lighting and HVAC controls. Nice neighborhood
Great hotel. The staff at the front desk were amazingly helpful. We left a pair of jeans behind and they sent us a picture and gave us options for their return. Thanks for everything!!
The front desk was aware that the elevator was broken and expected the guest to carry their luggage to carry their luggage up and down the narrow spiral staircase. The carpet and the drapes in the room were filthy. Room stunk.
The front desk clerk was indifferent when asked to remedy these issues.
This hotel is not a 4-star and should not be considered by the more mature and experienced traveler. In short, false advertising.
Avoid at all costs !! Horrible experience. This is a scam. We booked this hotel for 7 days but they gave us a room that resembles a prison cell and with Double bed and no room to put our luggage, let alone put a baby bed in the room !! Despite that, they refuse to refund the entire stay !! This is illegal. I will press charges.
